JONESBORO — Arkansas State Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir announced Wednesday that the Red Wolves’ football team has reached a two-year agreement with the University of Missouri to play a home-and-home series beginning this season.

A-State and Mizzou will play this year’s game in Columbia at Faurot Field on Sept. 28, while the current contract also calls for a Sept. 12 game in Jonesboro in 2015.

The 2013 contest will mark the third meeting all-time between the two schools and the first since 2005.

The two-time defending Sun Belt Conference champions will open their 2013 season Aug. 31 against in-state foe UAPB at Liberty Bank Stadium in Jonesboro.
